/by

Tyler Hubbard has revealed the lead single from his upcoming solo EMI Records Nashville project, “5 Foot 9,” will be released May 20.

The Florida Georgia Line member has been working on his solo project for over a year, and shared previews of the new music on his socials earlier this week. Hubbard wrote “5 Foot 9” with Jaren Johnston and Chase McGill, and co-produced the track with Jordan Schmidt.

“Songwriting is central to everything I do as an artist,” says Hubbard. “It has allowed me to connect with fans for many years, and I’m excited for everyone to hear new music for a new chapter in my career.”

For the new album, Hubbard teamed up with some of Nashville’s most prominent hitmakers including Ross Copperman, Rhett Akins, Jon Nite, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett and more. The project will highlight Hubbard’s variety of musical sides and influences, from urban to contemporary Christian, while his country roots remain in the forefront.

For the past decade, country fans have gotten to know Hubbard as part of the multi-Platinum-selling, record-breaking duo Florida Georgia Line. Hubbard has written seven No. 1 hits for FGL, and has penned cuts for artists across multiple genres including Jason Aldean, Jimmie Allen, Kane Brown, Little Big Town, Thomas Rhett, Chris Tomlin, Nelly and Bebe Rexha.
